Generated Narrative: CodeSystem detectedissue-severity

This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/detectedissue-severity defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
high	High	Indicates the issue may be life-threatening or has the potential to cause permanent injury.
moderate	Moderate	Indicates the issue may result in noticeable adverse consequences but is unlikely to be life-threatening or cause permanent injury.
low	Low	Indicates the issue may result in some adverse consequences but is unlikely to substantially affect the situation of the subject.
contraindicated	Contraindicated	Indicates the issue is identifying a clinical action that is contraindicated, i.e. the issue is so severe that the clinical action generally should not be undertaken.
unknown	Unknown	Indicates the severity of the issue is unknown. This is different than simply omitting the severity, because it explicitly indicates the issue is recognized, but the severity is unknown.
